Brisbane — Commonwealth Special Tier X Cruiser.

After World War II, the Royal Australian Navy started reducing its fleet with the goal of improving the quality of its ships rather than increasing their number. Australia built five modern destroyers and acquired two aircraft carriers from Britain. They also considered purchasing larger ships to escort aircraft carriers. Cruiser Minotaur, equipped with dual-purpose main guns and under development in Britain at that time, could have been a suitable option.

Pros

• Large torpedo count per salvo.
• Surveillance Radar consumable available.
• High main battery firing rate.
• High AA defense efficiency

Cons

• Weak armor.
